Kia Sorento Hybrid: The Kia Sorento was recently teased for the first time, and the brand has now dropped a video teasing the upcoming hybrid SUV. The Kia Sorento 2026 is set to be launched in the Indian market on September 4, 2026. Notably, the interiors of the Kia Sorento were recently spotted on one of the test mules too. Let’s take a look at the recently shared teaser, along with the features that were seen with the test mule of the Kia Sorento 2026.
Kia Sorento 2026: New Teaser
The new teaser of the Kia Sorento shows the upcoming SUV covered underneath a black cover. The T-shaped LED DRLs with vertically positioned ice-cube-shaped LED headlights below are visible in the video. While the previous teaser (which was an image) showcased only the front end of the SUV, the recent teaser shows the rear end and side profile too. The rear end of the SUV features a square-bracket-style LED taillight signature. The side profile shows a sloping window line and roof rails too.

Recently, the interior of the Kia Sorento 2026 was spied for the first time. The cabin of the Sorento hybrid features a dual-tone theme with black and brown leatherette shades. It gets a curved panoramic display, and it integrates the instrument cluster and the infotainment system. It also features a manually adjustable steering wheel with mounted controls and paddle shifters that are finished in black colour.
The SUV features a centre console with a rotary dial for driving mode selection, and another dial can be seen placed behind the first one, which seems like it will act as the drive mode selector. Additional features include ventilated front and second-row seats, a Bose sound system, second-row captain seats (6-seater variant), wireless phone charger, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, and more.
In terms of safety, the SUV features a Level 2 ADAS Suite, a 360-degree camera, Hill Descent Control, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold function, auto start/stop, Hill Hold Assist, and more.
